Leavin's Not The Only Way To Go

Do the mornin's still come early, are the nights not long enough?

Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?

Well, it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know

Maybe leavin's not the only way to go

Maybe lyin' at your feelin's, grow accustomed to the dark

By mornin's light, it just might solve the problems of the heart

And it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know

Maybe leavin's not the only way to go

People reach new understandings all the time

Take a second look, maybe change their minds

People reach new understandings every day

Tell me not to reach, babe, and I'll go away

But do the mornin's still come early, are the nights not long enough?

Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?

Well, it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know

Maybe leavin's not the only way to go

People reach new understandings all the time

Take a second look, maybe change their minds

People reach new understandings every day

Tell me not to reach, babe, and I'll go away

But do the mornin's still come early, are the nights not long enough?

Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?

Well, it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know

Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
